Great Big Stitched Postcard Swap 2012

The card I sent.

This is the third year I've participated in the Great Big Stitched Postcard Swap and, once again, I thoroughly enjoyed it. This years theme was "Discover".Beth Nichols from Do What You Love does a great job of organizing this event and if you've never participated you really should give it a go the next time the opportunity comes up.With 250+ participants, this was the biggest swap to date.My card was crafted from paper and all hand stitched. The idea was that you had to discover the bits and pieces in the card. The card was sent across the pond to Pam Hetherington of Hortensia Designs and she, in turn, sent me one.

Pam's card included images of her garden with some lovely hand stitching on the front. The words "Discover My Garden" were written on the back.
